? " Kou Que asked.

The wine master smiled.

Kou Que fumbled from his bosom, and embarrassedly took out some odds and ends of silver. He smiled shyly.Finally, he took out a bank note from his pocket, which was a bank note with a face value of 50 taels.

Kou Que reluctantly spread it out on the counter. This bank note was given to him by his mother, and it was also an object of his bond with the virtuous king.He still plans to use this banknote as a family heirloom?

The bartender still smiled. "Drinkers don't have to be like this, just ask you to compose a poem."

"The wine master is very loyal."

Kou Que picked up the pen and finished it in one go.

The wine owner sent away a few sporadic guests, hung a sign outside the door, [Closed], and Shi Shiran went to the warehouse to pick up the wine.

Song Qi was lying on the table ordering wine. "The restaurant, bring me some wine."

Kou Que picked up his collar, "Wake up, hey, don't sleep. Eat some food first."

Song Qi pushed him and said, "Leave me alone."

The owner of the wine took many jars of wine and placed them in a row.Song Qi patted open the wine seal, the gurgle seemed like cold water.

"See if I'm full of pride." Song Qi smiled with tears in his eyes.

"Brother, my heart aches." Song Qi wailed loudly.

"I know you're not feeling well, just say it, it's hard to hold back in your heart."

"I can trust you, brother. You are the best person." Song Qi started drinking again.

Kou Que continued to comfort him, but he hadn't had a drink yet.

After drinking jar after jar of wine, Song Qi was so depressed that he stopped crying and turned into laughing.There was a lot of sadness in that smile.

"Brother, why don't you drink?"

"drink."

The two picked up the wine jar and began to drink.In this kind of unnutritious conversation, the owner of the tavern has long been yawning in a daze while leaning on the warm stove.

"Brother, let me tell you a secret." Song Qi whispered in Kou Que's ear mysteriously.

"What secret?" Kou Que laughed, a little itchy.He is very clear-headed now, where there is paper and pen, he wants to write.

"Brother, do you know why I came to Kyoto for scientific research? It's not for being an official. With my temper, I'm not fucking suitable for being in officialdom. I just came to meet my idol. Do you know how excited I am?" A living idol. I never dared to think that I would become good friends with my idol."

"Not only did I become good friends with my idol, but I also made friends with you and Yan Shu. I also met many famous people in history, Qiangu Yidi, and I just think that I am beside Qiangu Yidi, and my chest is full of tears." Pride, you don't know what that feels like."

"But it's all gone."

"Nothing?" Kou Que touched the pen and paper from the counter, stumbled back, and heard this sentence.

"Do you know what my wish is? I hope to save the idol's life with my own strength, I hope that I can make a mark in the history of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and I hope that I can also be like those famous officials and respect Mingjunjunchen. have to."

"The result? I can't do anything about the death of the idol; and the emperor who I always thought was Ming Jun, turned out to be like this."

"I'm so disappointed, this is a real tyrant. Not only did he want to erase everything about Zhou Che, but he also used my idol. He is not like that person in history."

"That's a person who was imprisoned by the Dragon Chair. I hate him, he destroyed all my wishes." Song Qi shuddered. It was the first time he saw what an ancient emperor was like.It is definitely not gentle, not what modern people advocate, nor is it the way portrayed in novels or movies.Unable to stop the great sadness of the idol's death, Song Qi suddenly collapsed.

"Ah, I broke all your hopes with my own hands, didn't I? Let you know that I have always been a clown. Am I right?" Kou Que made a stroke.

"Yes, I'm just a fool. I don't understand what everyone knows. Hahaha! Fool, fool!" Song Qi drank and the drink slipped from his mouth.

What happened these days overturned his cognition and slapped him alive.He is an archaeologist who studies history, and it turns out that everything is fake. Is he still necessary to exist?

He studied history, and the reality told him: History is all fake.It was a devastating blow.

"Fool, fool. Look!" Kou Que swiped his pen and began to write in rotation. As soon as he drank, he began to scribble.Kou Que didn't seem to be satisfied, he took a brush and wrote directly on Song Qi's face.

"Don't make trouble, I'm going to tell you something, be serious."

Kou Que waved the brush and started waving it wildly, and accidentally fell to the ground.Then he smirked and pulled Song Qi to the ground.

I can't breathe.

At this time, the people in the tavern were knocked loudly, and the owner was awakened by the shock, rubbing his staring eyes, "Who is it?"

"Open the door, I'm looking for uncle."

The shopkeeper opened the door and glanced at the well-dressed maid with an anxious face: "There is no one you are looking for here?"

"Hey, isn't that right? Uncle, you're drunk, oh my God. Miss said you must never get drunk. You even drink when you're married."

"Ah, isn't this Song Qi champion?"

"Why are you so surprised, maid? Now that you have found someone, hurry up and get him away."

"Okay, you wait."

When the servant girl reached the door, she waved her hand, and a group of sturdy guards came in, carried the two of them away.The maid was still in a hurry to thank the owner of the tavern, and gave the owner a piece of silver, and ran out without waiting for the owner to speak.

"Hey, no money~"

Song Qi was sent to the guest room to sleep, while Kou Que was woken up by being splashed with a basin of cold water.

"Mr. Prime Minister, oh no, Mr. Father-in-law is polite." Kou Que woke up with a jolt.

"I think it's better for you to continue to sleep?"

"Father-in-law, I..., I'm sorry." Kou Que lowered his head.It is true that this matter is too out of control, especially in this special period.

"Sit down and talk about your future plans." The Prime Minister asked, taking a sip of tea.

"To be honest, I don't know." Kou Que felt that he had never been so confused.He didn't have those thoughts of Song Qi.

"Do you think that the sage books you read are fake and useless, the emperor controls life and death, and we officials have no ability to fight back?"

"Yes. And the officials in the officialdom are too dirty, I don't like it."

"It's okay if you don't like it. There is me outside and Huiru at home. You just need to be a pure minister, not a direct minister, let alone a powerful minister."

"You think the emperor is cruel, General Zhou is wronged, and King Xu Xian is tragic, right?"

"Yes."

"Then let me tell you what is the truth? What a big game this is. I have thought about why Zhou Che didn't become a good general of Baisheng, but rebelled instead. From the way he treated the people in those cities after the rebellion, we can know that he He is also a man who loves his people like a son, right?"

"Yes." Kou Que nodded without thinking.

"Then I'm asking you, since the little emperor came to the throne for three years, the first two years he didn't manage politics very much. When he was in court, he was joking and joking with his courtiers. Since the scientific examination, he has started drastic reforms. Whose idea is this?"

"If the emperor wants to prepare his own power, he must use newcomers. And the newcomers should be loyal to the emperor in the end."

"Exactly, that's why the chief examiner was changed, and this new chief examiner has never stood up straight before. According to my observation, this year's chief examiner not only has some reason in the hands of the emperor, but also completely stands in line with the emperor. side."

"Well, father-in-law, are you right?"

"I'll tell you later, I'm afraid you'll be scared."

"To answer the first two questions, there is one person who is crucial to Zhou Che's sudden change, the little emperor's change, and even General Situ's change, and that is Master Huineng."

"Master Huineng?" Kou Que jumped up in surprise.

"Do you know who agreed to the marriage?"

"I know, I'm the one to decide the case." Kou Que nodded.

"Then you only know one thing, not the other. All the events were planned by the Supreme Emperor."

"What, isn't the Empress Dowager critically ill? After a few months of coming to Beijing with his princess, the Empress Dowager fell seriously ill? How is that possible?" Shock can no longer be used to describe it.

"I am also a member of the Supreme Emperor. Everyone is surrounded by someone placed by the Supreme Emperor, not only by the emperor, but also by his favorite King Xuxian."

"Master Huineng should also be related to the Supreme Emperor."

Hearing this, Kou Que was a little confused, what was the intention of the Supreme Emperor doing these things?

"Don't you understand the reason yet? I'll tell you two of them, and you can think about the rest."

"First, it is the temptation of power and desire for control. Second: the sequelae caused by the abolishment of the crown prince incident made the Supreme Emperor constantly test the current emperor."

"So, many extreme actions of the emperor are testing the bottom line of the Supreme Emperor." Kou Que understood a little bit.

The prime minister pushed open the door, leaving Kou Que to continue thinking.

The next day, when Song Qi and Kou Que were having breakfast, Song Qi couldn't help asking: "Did I say something yesterday...?"

"You didn't say anything?" Kou Que replied immediately.

"What do you plan to do in the future?" Kou Que asked further.

"I've also made up my mind. Since the virtuous king has left and I'm not suitable for officialdom, I will resign and return to my hometown after I finish the last thing for the virtuous king. I will be a teacher in my hometown."

"I'm afraid I can't be so frank." After thinking yesterday, Kou Que felt that he had to find out the truth of everything.At the same time, the responsibilities on his shoulders also bound him.

"Bless you." Kou Que said sincerely,
